Restoring Forests, Reducing CO2

Missouri's Mingo National Wildlife Refuge is getting a big boost toward its habitat restoration goals with the donation of more than 100,000 native trees. The event marks a milestone for The Conservation Fund's voluntary carbon offset program, Go Zero® - the planting of its one millionth tree. Partners will restore 367 acres of walnut, hickory, oak and cypress trees. As the forest matures, it is expected to trap an estimated 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from the atmosphere.
